64 Year Old Senior Left Speechless by Dark Spot Fix

"Kelly, why do you have those dark spots all over your arms and face"?

These are the words that left 64-year-old kindergarten teacher, Kelly* feeling completely rattled and embarrassed.

Kelly had first started to experience dark spots on her skin a few years ago and slowly over time they started to get darker and darker, and more started to appear.

She would always just put makeup on to try and cover up her dark spots and uneven skin tones, but the spots had gotten so obvious that makeup could no longer fully cover them up.

Kelly had always done everything right and was very cautious, consistently applying sunblock and limiting sun exposure.

Later that week she went out to lunch with one of her friends and explained the story of what happened to her earlier in the week.

She said, she knows exactly how she feels and that she also experienced the same issues, but she saw an amazing video last week about a special at-home method to help reduce the appearance of dark spots, age spots, and uneven skin tones.

Kelly began using this special method at home, and one day her husband saw her and said "wow, what happened to your dark spots? I can't even tell you have them anymore."

She explained that last week she went to lunch with her friends and she told her to use this special method on the dark spots to help make them "disappear."

Kelly's husband was amazed by the results he saw, and he noticed that he had some age spots and he also tried this method on himself and experienced similar results.

The Trump administration has initialized the final steps to open up nearly 1.6 million acres of the protected Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge to allow oil and gas drilling.

A Florida man has been allowed to import a Tanzanian lion's skin, skull, claws and teeth, a first since the animal was listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, according to US Fish and Wildlife Service records uncovered by the Center for Biological Diversity through the Freedom of Information Act.

A fracked natural gas well in northwest Louisiana has been burning for two weeks after suffering a blowout. A state official said the fire will likely burn for the next month before the flames can be brought under control by drilling a relief well.
